Miss Alma Smith writing from Wsbbel
lake says: There was 9 bear killed about
one mile from here yesterday, making the
third n killed this week and all at The
same place. They are perfectly fearless
and sheephearders dare no interfere with
them. They follow the bands Of sheepi in
this neighborhood and feast upon the
woody animals when hunger prompts
them to do so. A few days ago a large
bear Of the grizzly species walked boldly
into . sheep camp in broad daylight, &c.

lumberman and manufacturer, and began
at the further end of the road tearing up
and loading the rails, which were rented
to Willoughby and about which there had
been a dispute. Willoughby was absent
in Philadelphia. In the evening, when the
rails we're loaded and the train was ready
to run on the main track, Mrs. Willoughby,
Q handsome Kentucky lady, took her posi-.
ton on the road in front Of the engine and
refused to allow the train to pass. A sofa
and rocking chair were brought to her,
and there she +" held the fort" all might
and declared that she would remain until
her husband returned. A railroad at
torney arrived and attempted. unsuccess.
fully. TO make the lady vacate. Mrs
Willoughby employed lawyers, but nc
settlement could be arrived at.
On the evening Of the second day thu
railroad attorney ordered the train to rur
out at any cost. Mrs. Willoughby ha6
armed herself with q sixteen-shootine
rifle, and a. the train came down upoI
her, instead Of moving. she covered the
engineer with Q rifle and ordered him Il
halt, which he did without q second
order. Here the train superintendent
Sheriff and hands remained until q com.

| How O slip with o Razor Prevent.
ed . Man From Being Buried
alive.
There is q barber In Philadelphia who
has q razor which he says he would not
part with for $500. eft Is an insignif-
cant looking razor, too" said he the
other day, "but il once saved . mans
life. How2 Well, I'll tell you about il.
When I was working in Boston, some
years ago, l was sent to shave the corpse
Of . rich man who lived on Beacon Hill.
! was q little green at the business, and ii
was the first corpse I had ever been called
upon to shave. / took n OF the Oldest
of my razors-you know a dead mans
beard is as stiff as q wire and ruins q
razor-and started out. The man was
lying in bed, and the family were waiting
for the undertaken. One of the old gentle
man g nephews was . surgeon, and he
stayed in the room while I shaved his
dead uncle. OF course, q corpse can't kick
il you don't give him q smooth shave,
and SO l was q little bit rough, I confess.
1 went over his cheek all right, but when
I got to the chin I cut him so that the
blood spurted out. Hold on shouted
the nephew, { q dead man don't bleed like
that and he went up to the corpse and
proceeded to examine it in Q professional
way. sCatalepso,' said he, and in q
second the old man was placed in a shower
bath. After awhile he gave q sort of gasp
and come TO. The nephew was right and
the supposed corpse was only suffering
from o fit. After he got entirely well he
came To the sh0D wheY WAS wOrkinp
and gave me a check for 81, 900. It seems
to me that I've been lucky ever since, and
ss I attribute all my success to that one
shave I naturally have a great regard for
the razor with which I did it,"

by patriot John Hampden, the Roundhead

the Hobart Hampden family, of which the

The effects of making the wrong point
were never more strikingly shown than in
the case of the Hofer Tagblatt, a German
paper, which recently announced that a
decoration had been conferred upon Count
Won Holstein. By an oversight an exclama-
ton point instead of period appeared at
the end of the sentence, and for this the
authorities seized the whole issue and insti-
tuted suit against the editor for atrocious
libel.

The Canadian Pacific is already an impor..-
ant competitor for business would other
wise surely go to American roads; and, if
we ares- 4So-b Believe the words of the English
and Canadians, intends to maintain in the
future a still more aggressive policy. A
member Of the English steamship firm of
Anderson, Anderson & Company, who are
bidders for the carrying Of the English mails
in connection with the Canadian Pacific, is
reported to have said in Montreal the other
day that it would be possible for good line
of steamships acting with the railroad to
revolutionize the Atlantic ocean service. In
his opinion passengers by such line could
be landed in Chicago from Europe by the
time direct steamship lines could carry their
passengers to New York By means Of the
new line by way Of Sault Ste Marie, pas
sengers could, in his opinion, travel by way
of Quebec in summer, or Halifax in winter,
and be landed even in Duluth or st. Paul
within very few hours of the time they
would be landed under existing arrange
ments in New York. There is another side
to this subject however. People going to
Europe, especially western people, will not
think of the quickness of the trip alone.
The tide of travel has been through New
York for years, and such habits will not be
broken up at once. Besides the traveller
who is not on pressing business would pre-
fer to visit great metropolis like New York
on his way abroad, rather than be hurried
across Northern Maine to the comparatively
Insignificant city of Halifax. 1t is safe to
say that the Canadian line, even with its
short routes and long pocket book, will not
get everything.

rhe READING sfrlke.

1t is difficult to say whether upon the en-
ployes or the company should rest the chief
responsibility for this miserable business on
the Reading railroad. In the beginning the
employees were chiefly, if not solely, to
blame. They were the aggressors. But sub
sequently they repented and made overtures
for settlement. The manner in which the
company received their oyertures, or, more
properly, refused to receive them, is not to
its credit. Something ought to be pardoned
to men acting under excitement, when they
subsequently see the error of their ways and
resolve to turn from it. Great corpora
tions like the Reading, that receive great
privileges from the State, and do not always
use them as they should, ought not to be
oyerbearing and arbitrary in the treatment
of their employees. The latter have just as
good right TO combine to keep up their
wages as the former have to combine to main
tain their passenger and freight tariff and the
fact that they have exercised this right ought
not to work to their prejudice OF course
when the employees undertake to usurp rights
which belong to the company the latter
should resist, but when the former cease
their efforts in that direction the company
can afford to show some maguanimity.
1t is pretty evident that the Reading COM
pany ispushing the present fight for the pur-
pose of breaking up the combination among
their employees. This is an improper pur-
pose, inasmuch as it is an attempt TO abridge
the rights of the workingman by threaten
ing him with starvation if he does not relin-
quish one of them, and very important and
valuable one, namely, the right to combine
to keep up his wages. When laboring men
belonging to particular organization under
take to paralyze a company's business be-
cause the company refuses to bind itself to
employ nobody who does not belong to that
organization, they are guilty Of an immoral
and indefensible act. And a corporation
which attempts to break up lawful organi-
zation of workingnen by refusing to employ
anybody who belongs to it is guilty of the
same kind Of an act The rights of the cor
poration are no greater in this respect than
the rights of the laboring man. 1t is the
duty Of each to respect the others rights.
They are mutually dependent, and ought to
live together in harmony. The Reading
railroad was right in resisting to the bitter
end the unlawful and. improper aggressions

NEW ENGLAND ALL RIGHT.
boston Transcript
The discussion of the tariff in the New
York papers this year, as in previous years.
leads up to a cheerful picture, colored to
New York tastes. of the decadence of New
England. New England is pretty lively for
a decadent section, and Boston has felt well
enough the last six months to put about
SIS, 900, 900 into a few Western enterprises,
and has money enough left to pay her debts
and lay up something for a rainy day.

We observe that the Democratic papers
are gliblv stating that Governor Marble is a
Mugwump Republican, This win appear
like very queer joke to those who are ac-
quainted with him. Republicans may well
wish that all Independents" were made of
the same material that be is composed of.
If he is Mugwump we hope the number
will rapidly increase. Maine never produced

Powell, the defeated candidate for Gov

The stories that have been assiduously cir
culated by Democrats, whose wish was ia
Their to the thought that quarrel was brew
ing among the Republicans in the Third
district over the seat in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes now so satisfactorily filled by the
Hon S. l.. Milliken, are disposed Of by the
interesting correspondence, published else
where, between Mr.. Milliken and the Hon,
j. II. Manley, who has been reported as as
piring to Mr.. Milliken's seat. The practice
Of Maine Republicans has been TO elect able
men to Congress and then keep them there
and it is a most excellent practice too. The
longer Congressman remains in service the
more useful he becomes, provided he is able
and upright Maine to-day has more influ-
ence in the House than any State of its size
in the Union, and the secret of it lies in large
measure in the recognition of this fact.

At the Boston banquet Congressman
Dingley very appropriately called attention
to the refusal of Canada to grant to our fish
ermen rights and privileges that we're freely
accorded her fishermen in our ports. The
fault for the present condition of things is
entirely Canada's, and the worst Of it is that
she is deliberately perpetuating it in order to
coerce us into making some arrangement
with her in the matter of internal commerce.
The plan is one that will hardly succeed
The people Of the United States are not to
be coerced; any more than the people of
Canada. Commercial union is likely to be
retarded rather than accelerated by Canada's
treatment of our fishermen.

denies the stories which have been in circu-

the contrary, are the malicious invention of
reporters, who are angry because he recently
cut off some Of their privileges.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Herald says the report that President
Cleveland proposes to send message to
Congress recommending the repeal of the
tobacco tax is pronounced unfounded, though
he does not state by whom it is so pro-
nounced. The Carlisle Democrats would
undoubtedly like to believe it unfounded;
while the Randall wing would like to see
enough postscripts added to the message to
include both tobacco and whiskey. AS Mr..
Cleveland in these days is trying to be
